Features:
* Menu in the upper right corner of the main interface: select the APP language, currently supports English and Simplified Chinese.
* Maximum temperature, minimum temperature(mintemp), center temperature(Centem): represent the temperature values corresponding to the current measurement screen.
* Landrevert: The mobile phone layout is reversed. You can rotate the phone to hold it so that the thermal imager is above the phone. Note that some mobile phone models have an automatic rotation function.
* ColorPalette: refers to the pseudo-color plate scheme used by the thermal imaging screen, which is convenient for use in different scenarios.
* PaletteScale: refers to automatically following the upper and lower limits of the current screen temperature or manually set values, that is, the upper temperature limit(PaletteUpper), the lower temperature limit, the highest temperature and the lowest temperature corresponding to the current color scheme.
* Emissivity: If you only look at the temperature distribution on the of the object and do not need to measure the absolute value of the temperature, you can use the default emissivity. If you need to measure the temperature of the object more accurately, you need to check the emissivity of the object material.

The listing for this camera does not disclose that you have to install apk software package from an unknown source. It is not available from the Google Play store. There is no assurance that the software does not contain malware, it is not open source, and the publisher/provider is not declared.The risk of installing unaccountable software is unacceptable to me. I am not going to install software of unknown province on my phone.I’ll get my hands on a burner phone and install it there, and update this review on the camera’s functionality, but I wanted to get this disclosure out first for anyone with similar risk tolerance.

This thermal imager works well on my Android phone, which is running Android OS 14 and not the suggested OS versions 8 through 12. It works very well, as described in the product description.This thermal imager is a small attachment (1.75 inch x 0.75 inch x 0.5 inch) that is added to an Android phone’s USB-C port. The imager’s product information says it’s for Android phones running the Android OS versions 8 through 12, but it works flawlessly on OS 14 for me.The thermal imaging software is not available on any of the Android app stores; it has to be downloaded from github as an APK image. The download URL is provided on the inside of the box lid. When you download it, you will need to tap on the downloaded APK file within downloads, and then Android will confirm that you actually want to install it, and you must confirm that you will assume liability if something should go wrong.I did not have any trouble installing the software; I followed the directions that Android presented to allow the APK to be installed. When the app started to run it had no problems connecting to the thermal imaging device. It defaults to simplified Chinese, but you can set the language to English by tapping on the menu option at the upper right-hand corner of the app, as the app’s directions indicate. See the attached photo.Once I started the app, I then plugged in the thermal device and then Android asked if the app can access the thermal imager. See the second photo.The USB ports on all android phones are at the bottom of the phone, which makes this a little awkward since the normal placement of the android camera is at the top of the phone. To get around this issue, you can flip your phone upside down, then check the box “landRever” to invert the app’s display. This will show the app correctly, when you hold your phone upside down, and it will prevent the phone from trying to rotate the image. See the third photo.To ensure that the app is showing the image correctly, you can hold your hand in front of the imager and if it’s upside down, click the “Mirr Vert” to flip the vertical display. If you need to flip it horizontally then click the “Mirr Hori”. See the third photo.The default temperature mode is Celsius, to change to Fahrenheit click the “F” box. By default, it uses an auto on the pallet scale, but you can switch it over to manual and then adjust the upper and lower bounds.There is a setting to adjust the emissivity, which basically is how effective a surface is at emitting thermal energy. An example of two types of surfaces with different emissivity would be stainless steel (0.16) and paper (0.94). There are many published emissivity tables out there for many common materials which can help fine tune your settings.Using an industrial infrared thermometer, I was able to spot check the readings on this thermal imager, and they are within 1 to 2 degrees of the infrared thermometer. One thing I noticed is that this thermal imager is able to read a smaller point than the infrared thermometer since the infrared thermometer is ready one pixel value, instead of many smaller pixels in the same area. So I would have to say that this thermal imager is very accurate to the temperatures that its reporting.As a side note, I've noticed that when "landRevert" is checked, it can be difficult to exit the app by swiping. If you uncheck that option, then its much easier to exit the app.Overall this works quite well. The imager has a resolution of 32 x 32 pixels, and a frame rate of 5 frames per second, so it’s rough and jumpy. But it does work very well and the reported temperatures appear to be very accurate.
